Voynich decoded completely

[Koen G]

In my opinion, discussing which language Voynichese could be at the current stage makes no sense. No matter how you twist it, statistically it does not behave like any language. It's like debating which fuel to use for your bicycle, or discussing which hair conditioner to use even though you're bald. We need to get a car first, or grow some hair.

Again, depending on which statistic you look at (mostly entropy, I guess), Voynichese is simply too far removed from language altogether. Introducing obscure dialects does not help, since they never improve the relevant statistics to a sufficient degree. If they did, they would probably not function as a language. Introducing different writing systems like abjads tends to worsen the problem, so the solution isn't there either. And assuming abbreviation makes the entropy problem worse, not better. Proclaiming that of course it is Latin does not help anyone either.

If we ever find meaning in Voynichese, the first step will be to discover how it encodes information. How it can encode any information, in any language.
